Prince was awesome! He has so much knowledge about the islands. He was prompt on picking up the phones and returning calls. He picked us up and took us around the island (St.Croix). The journey was super fun. He made sure we were engaged all the time with this sense of humor and little surprises. He made sure we covered all the places on the island. Would definitely recommend him to others!! P.S: Beer drinking pigs are the best part of the trip!

Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve

Dedicated in 1993, this national, ecological preserve and park features the largest remaining mangrove forest in the U.S.V.I., a submarine canyon, plus objects of cultural significance such as a prehistoric ceremonial hall and burial site.

We have done several tours including the night bioluminescence tour with Virgin Kyack as well as rented kyacking and self toured. The service iand guides are top notch as are the Hobie kyacks. The pedal mirage Hobie is used on most of the tours so even the most novice kayakers can feel comfortable. The rates are quite reasonable starting at $40 for a 3-4 hour tandem self guided tour. This is always a highlight of our trips to St Croix.

Fort Christiansvaern

An imposing yellow Danish fort built to defend the Christiansted harbor.

Reviewed By StefanieH443 - Lincoln, United States

We found the history of this fort to be so interesting, and although some exhibits were closed due to Covid and renovations, the park ranger told us all about the fort and gave us a binder to do a self-guided tour. The fort is beautifully maintained and includes a dungeon. The history of the fort and the island itself is very sad, but this is a great place to learn about it. Right now, there is no admission fee, but that will obviously change in the future. Parking is free in the small lot next door.
